- 2

This is a typical outline, not an official one. Rounds, sections and timings change by year, role and campus. Confirm with the official notification or your placement cell.
Tips for the Cognizant test
- Attempt every section: an unattempted section can hurt more than a few wrong answers.
- Revise data structures, SQL and one programming language thoroughly.
- Practise explaining your approach out loud, not only writing code.
- Check the official programme page for the current format.
